I think getting the service manual is a great idea. That way, repairs are much easier, because you can check if everything is properly assembled...
The last thing that will work is to just spray it with silicone spray. Lubrication is hardly necessary in such a mechanism. It often just causes...
It's not unusual for the switches to interact with the mechanism. For example, the motor makes certain movements to activate certain functions...
I see a few switches on the board. It's just a suggestion, but have you checked if they're aligned with the mechanism when you put the board back...
Before you put money into the machine, it's good to know that cassette deck problems are likely caused by two cam gears that may be worn out. The...
It depends a lot on whether the aluminum trim on the front is still in place. Without this aluminum plate, it's considerably less valuable than...
I'm enjoying this thread. Great research, guys :)
I have a box that looks the same. It is branded Goldstar TSR-540. I've also seen it as Sound 4004 I think.
Nice one, great score! Its a very early boombox. I thought it was from around 1969. I had one once too. A Grundig C201-FM. I tried to get it...
I still remember a lot of great members and huge collectors. I won't name names, because I'm sure I'll forget a few if I start. At some point, I...
Hey JT, long time no see. Good to see you're back. I've been away for quite a few years myself. Luckily, that didn't mean I lost track of...
Didn't he do this a "boombox a day" for months on a big social media site many years ago? Showing everyday a video with a different boombox? I...
This looks like my dream thrift store that I hope to stumble into someday :)
This nice box must be among the most universal usable minis in existence. It is a walkman, it is a voice recorder, it is a compo and it is a...
I like the CCE Mini Compo MS 3! Does anyone have one? Is the speaker enclosure made of wood or is it just plain plastic?
Nice fix, Silvera. I had the same sort of issue with an SK-909 boombox. A shrinking plastic (rewind) gear around a steel axle, causing the gear to...
This is a great discovery Mister X! I always wondered where the term Boombox came from. Until I became active in an international context (thanks...
I don't know if this site has already been discussed on the forum. But I would definitely recommend to take a look at it. Original it is in Dutch,...
There is a mix with 2Pac & Joyce Sims that really I like. Its a great match. Back in the days used to listen a lot Joyce Sims on my DD3 while...
Sony CF-580 is a very nice box. Not ghettoblaster loud, but it sounds super nice. Imo one of the best sounding Sony's indoor radio's from that...
